All ball & bearings have a time in service rating from their manufacturer. You have to look hard to find these in most instances.

The reason why time matters, even if the car is not driven, is because people tend to service cars that sit static LESS than those that are driven daily. The cars that sit need twice as frequent oil services based on my direct experience, having collected oil samples from hundreds of engines over the last 10-12 years. Some of these case studies were from my Canadian customers who store the car 1/2- 3/4 of the year.

NOT driving the car continues to be the WORST operating environment that it can be exposed to.
